Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

In fact, contrary to the thoughts of Mr. Sun and others, Cen Huacai felt that the appearance of Jiang Xin was not a bad thing for Xie Ze, but a very good thing.

Before Jiang Xin appeared, their prince had always been stubborn and self-willed, doing things his own way, never considering the consequences of his actions, and sometimes when he went crazy, no one could persuade him to stop.

Although those so-called rumors are not true, they do have some basis for reference.

It is a very dangerous thing to be loyal to such an unscrupulous master who does not even care about his own reputation and life. In fact, as early as several months ago, Cen Huacai had already considered resigning to Xie Ze.

However, just as he was about to leave, Jiang Xin appeared.

During this period, he could clearly feel that with Jiang Xin by his side, Xie Ze was like a wild horse that was put on a rope. He became more rational and had more humane feeling than the original "mad" king.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the incident of the prince beating a student in court some time ago. If such a bad behavior had happened in the past, there would definitely be rumors in the capital accusing their prince of being rampant and unscrupulous, like a mad dog biting people.

However, Jiang Xin's slight obstruction in the court made their prince stop instantly, which gave people the impression that the prince was a wise man who could clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and did not lose his mind and act like a madman when beating people as rumored.

Even though it still looked bloody and violent, didn't the virtuous king stop when he said he would? The seemingly fragile young master of the Jiang family was not hurt at all. This shows that the so-called madness is completely controllable, and His Royal Highness the virtuous king is not an irrational person.

Perhaps it was because everyone was used to hearing that the virtuous king was a madman, and their expectations of him had reached the lowest point.

Several factions of princes thought that after what happened in court, Xie Ze's brutal image would become more deeply rooted in people's minds. However, they did not expect that it helped Xie Ze to clear himself of the previous false rumors. They were even less frightened of him than before.

It is normal for a general on the battlefield to be a little irritable and easily angered. Otherwise, how can he control those fearless barbarians on the battlefield? The wise king went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He has made so many contributions over the years. It is understandable that he is a little fierce.

That's it. No one had expected that during this time back in Beijing, Xie Ze's reputation would actually rebound because of the incident of beating Lu Wuliang.

It was precisely because of this that Cen Huacai temporarily gave up the idea of ​​leaving and instead began to observe this Mr. Jiang who suddenly appeared.

Then Cen Huacai discovered that whenever Young Master Jiang was around, their prince would indeed control his temper, and would even be willing to restrain and endure for Young Master Jiang's sake and try hard to pretend to be a normal person.

Moreover, during the time that Jiang Xin and the prince were together, the news that was unfavorable to their prince was always able to turn danger into opportunity in the end, and things developed in the most favorable direction.

For example, when the prince asked His Majesty for a study companion, the people of the capital city learned that the prince had specially asked for a mute to be his study companion. They began to have a new understanding of this cruel and ruthless prince. Many people even began to think that the wise prince was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and was quite compassionate.

Besides, on that day at the residence of Wei Grand Secretary, the news that the virtuous prince had beaten the official's son for no reason was going to be a hot topic for a while, but it happened that the eldest son of the Jiang family, who had been mute for more than ten years, could speak.

Such a strange story perfectly overshadowed the trivial gossip of the wise king and helped his prince once again.

The most crucial thing is that these rumors were not spread by many people, but were spread by the people of the capital who automatically filled in the blanks in their minds.

The prince's reputation is gradually improving, and his temper is much better than before. All the things that Cen Huacai worried about in the past no longer exist, and all this is because of Jiang Xin. How good is this?

However, Mr. Sun and his ilk completely ignored all the contributions just because the wise king favored Jiang Xin too much. This is too arbitrary.

As for the possibility that the prince might have some improper thoughts about this Young Master Jiang, Cen Huacai glanced at Xie Ze's admiring eyes and silently looked up at the sky.

They are counselors, not the prince's elders. His Majesty is responsible for the prince's emotional life. Why would they care about this?

As long as Jiang Xin is not a treacherous and cunning person...

Cen Huacai looked at the other person who started to blush because of his compliment, and shook his head in his heart. Those old stubborn people were actually afraid that this kid would deceive the prince. With such a simple-minded look, it would be good enough if he didn't get deceived by their prince and nothing was left.

Perhaps because he had been staring at Jiang Xin for a long time, Cen Huacai keenly sensed the murderous intent coming from his own prince. He immediately stood at attention, saluted respectfully, and said seriously: "Then your Majesty, I will withdraw now."

Haha, you're jealous.

I have to say, our prince has become more and more like a human being after meeting Jiang Xin.

No matter what, a humane master is always easier to serve than an inhumane master.

"Yeah." Seeing that Cen Huacai was quite tactful and didn't make things too difficult for him, Xie Ze just nodded in response.

Jiang Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Cen Huacai leave. Then he looked up as if he had thought of something and hastily assured Xie Ze: [Your Highness! I will not tell the Jiang family about the method of making colored glaze, nor will I tell my father about your Highness. I am only loyal to your Highness! ]

Perhaps because he felt that the stumbling words were too unconvincing and too frivolous, Jiang Xin expressed his thoughts firmly with sign language with a stern face, and then looked up at Xie Ze eagerly, hoping that the other party would believe him.

After all, he had never been an official in the court, and had never thought about the struggle for the throne that seemed so far away from him. Now that he knew about it and had heard the conversation between His Highness and several aides with his own ears, he could not pretend that he had not heard it.

In just a short period of time, he had made up his mind.

He likes being the prince's study partner and wants to be the prince's study partner for the rest of his life. No matter who the prince supports, he will never betray the prince who treats him the best.

Xie Ze didn't feel happy at all when he looked at his study partner who looked so serious that he seemed like he was going to kneel down and swear allegiance to him any second.

Couldn't he just focus on the "match made in heaven" between Cen Huacai and him? Was the teenage Ah Xin that slow? ! !

Xie Ze wanted to pry open Jiang Xin's mind, and then tell him viciously that what he needed was never a considerate and loyal study partner, what he wanted was a partner who would walk with him for the rest of his life! Partner! Partner!

"Your Highness..." Jiang Xin saw Xie Ze's face darkening, and thought that the words of Mr. Sun and others still had some impact. Although he was a little sad, he still felt that it was understandable. After all, he was still a member of the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinqiang cheered up, pretending to be free and easy, and used sign language with a curved eyebrow: [In fact, what Mr. Sun said is not wrong. The manufacture of colored glaze is indeed a matter of great importance and cannot be sloppy in the slightest.

His Highness has appointed me to be fully responsible for this matter, and there must not be any omissions.

From today until this batch of glassware is completed, I would like to trouble Your Highness to send someone to protect me.

And for safety reasons, if Your Highness doesn't mind, I will stay at Your Highness's residence during this period to prevent the news from leaking out. 】

It's called protection, but in fact it's just surveillance. However, if this can make His Highness feel at ease, then he will be happy too.

Xie Ze noticed Jiang Xin's disappointment and knew that he must have started to have wild thoughts again. He frowned and was about to explain, but then he understood the sign language behind Ah Xin...

Hmm? Hmm?

"Ahem." Xie Ze cleared his throat and said seriously, "You are in charge of glass manufacturing these days. I guess you will have to go home very late every day. It is indeed a bit unsafe. It is better to stay in the palace. As for sending someone to protect you, you can stay with me all day. With me protecting you, nothing will happen."

Jiang Xin's thoughts were written on his face. How could he not understand what the other person meant?

Thinking of this, Xie Ze sighed, rubbed his study partner's head, and said gently: "Also, don't think too much about what happened just now. I believe in you. In this world, you are the person I trust the most."

"Yeah!" Jiang Xin nodded and finally smiled.

Xie Ze smiled, then pulled Jiang Xin out the door in a swift and decisive manner: "I'll go home with you to pack some clothes and personal items, so that you can stay in the palace for a few more days, or go shopping."

Jiang Xin: "..." Uh, it seems like I believe it, but it also seems like I don't believe it completely...

*

The two hurried back to Jiang Mansion, especially Xie Ze, who was in a hurry, fearing that his little tutor would change his mind if he delayed for another second, so he asked the coachman to stop the car at the gate of Jiang Mansion as if to urge his life.

"Huh~" The groom wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, Master Jiang, we are here."

I am accompanying Young Master Jiang back to pack his clothes. Young Master Jiang's clothes are at home and they won't run away by themselves. I don't know why their prince is in such a hurry!

Xie Zeke had no idea of ​​what his coachman was thinking. Upon hearing they had arrived, he immediately took Jiang Xin out of the carriage and knocked on the door of Jiang's residence with familiarity. He was about to pack his clothes and leave without any delay, but he encountered something that forced him to stop.

The entire Jiang family was kneeling on the ground at this moment, smiling as they welcomed His Majesty's imperial edict.

Xie Ze and Jiang Xin happened to come over, and although the matter had nothing to do with them, they still came to listen to the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Jiang Daiyu, the daughter of the Jiang family, is gentle, well-educated, and well-mannered, and is hereby appointed as the Fourth Prince's concubine. I decree this!"

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded from outside the hall, and Jiang Daiyu's originally excited and joyful expression suddenly froze on his face.

Concubine? How could she be a concubine?!

Jiang Daiyu subconsciously stood up, hurriedly ran forward and snatched the imperial edict with one hand, and read it over and over again three times before finally giving up and muttering absentmindedly: "Concubine, how is it possible..."

Fu Xuerong quickly covered Jiang Daiyu's mouth to stop her from saying the rest, then smiled and gave the eunuch ten taels of silver as a reward, and said politely: "Thank you, eunuch, for your hard work."

This is an imperial decree. If her daughter expresses any dissatisfaction, it will not be a matter of marrying the Fourth Prince as a concubine. If the Emperor is unhappy, he may send her daughter to a nunnery to be a nun for the rest of her life.

"Mrs. Jiang, you are too polite." The eunuch pretended not to notice Jiang Daiyu's expression, took the silver calmly, and said indifferently: "I am working for your majesty, so there is no such thing as hard work.

I would like to congratulate Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang. The Emperor values ​​Miss Jiang and has promised her to His Highness the Fourth Prince as a concubine. This is truly a great joyous event."

"You're right, father-in-law." Jiang Zhengchu also saw that his daughter was about to say something disrespectful, and his heart was in his throat. Fortunately, his wife reacted quickly, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glared at his troublesome daughter, and then sent the eunuch out with a smile on his face:

"I will make good preparations for my daughter's marriage to Your Highness and will never disappoint Your Majesty."

"Master Jiang, please stay. I will leave now." The eunuch nodded and said lightly.

Jiang Zhengchu stopped knowingly and said with a smile, "Then take care, eunuch."

The eunuch turned around indifferently, and when he saw Xie Ze at the door, his eyes immediately lit up, and he walked forward warmly and saluted: "Your Majesty is here too? Your servant greets Your Majesty."

"No need to be so polite." Xie Ze nodded. He was in a hurry to pack the luggage for his tutor and had no time to exchange pleasantries.

However, after finally catching His Majesty's favorite nephew, the eunuch who delivered the message naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to flatter him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness.

I was just about to go to the palace to look for His Highness, what a coincidence."

Xie Ze paused, frowned and looked at the eunuch: "What's the matter?"

The eunuch knew that the virtuous prince had a short patience, so he did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Now that several older princes have been granted marriages, His Majesty has started talking about your marriage again, so I sent this old servant to tell your Highness.

If Your Highness has a girl that he likes, no matter who she is, just bring her to His Majesty. His Majesty will personally grant the marriage, and the wedding will be held in accordance with the regulations for the marriage of princes. Your Highness and His Highness's princess will never be wronged in the slightest."

In recent years, whenever any prince got married, Emperor Kang Yuan would always send someone to the palace to pass on the message. It can be seen that Emperor Kang Yuan was really worried about Xie Ze's marriage.

"Got it." Xie Ze responded in a light and perfunctory tone.

Jiang Daiyu, who was far away, was very angry. She was obviously the legitimate princess consort, but that eunuch who looked down on others didn't come to please her carefully, but flattered Xie Ze instead. Did he know who the real dragon emperor was? !

The eunuch didn't know what Jiang Daiyu was thinking. Seeing Xie Ze's reply, he nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will not disturb Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Yeah." Xie Ze responded coldly, then he looked down and saw Jiang Xin looking at him with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but chuckled: "Your Majesty is my uncle and my only elder. Next time I go to the palace, I'll take you to see him."

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand why he had to go to see Xie Ze's uncle, he still nodded obediently: "Yes!"

The eunuch who had just walked to the door staggered: "..."

Not far away, Jiang Liangcai, who knew Xie Ze's thoughts very well, said: "..."
